Vincent is the best! He is so thorough and knowledgeable about dogs. He took our dog out every day for a good walk and even cleaned up some messes the dog had made around the house. He is incredibly trustworthy and kind. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Melissa did a wonderful job with the drop-in visits for our cat. She was very thorough, provided good communication, and left everything spotless and in perfect order for our return. And she spent enough time here that our very shy cat was eventually willing to come out and be seen (from a distance). We will definitely rebook her for our future trips.

Highly recommend Katherine! In addition to being reliable, a definite "pet person", her communication was fantastic - and she takes great pictures! Our cat tends to get "mad" at us when we travel - because of Katherine's daily interaction with him, I felt he would be ok and not be upset and sure enough when we returned he was his same self and not mad at all! I will hire Katherine again asap - she's a true pet-lover and also a great person - can't say enough positive things about her!

About: I have dedicated the past four years to working in a specialized animal hospital, gaining extensive experience across various departments including ophthalmology, oncology, internal medicine, surgery, and ICU/ER. My time in ICU/ER was particularly fulfilling, as it provided the greatest opportunity for direct patient involvement. I have had the privilege of assisting with the delivery of newborn puppies and kittens, and I have also provided compassionate support to senior animals during their end-of-life stages. My passion lies in delivering high-quality care to you and your beloved companion in the comfort of your home. I am currently seeking to utilize my available time during the week, coinciding with my partner's daytime work schedule, and I believe that providing in-home pet care services would be a fulfilling endeavor for me and the animal friends you love. I am ecstatic to meet with you and explore how I can help fill any gaps in your pets’ in-home care schedule. I’m a helpful and experienced individual who is dedicated to making your day-to-day tasks easier and ensuring your little friend receives the best love and care possible.

Met with us prior to meet the pups and go over instructions. Arrived on time agreed. Went above and beyond. Stayed and played with the pups the entire time. Communicated well. We felt comfortable with Ly-Linh right away and would not hesitate to recommend.

Kacie did an amazing job watching our cat Nala while we were away. She was very attentive to Nala’s needs and left us with lots of updates each day about how she was doing. We would definitely hire her again!

We are excited to meet you and give your pup an environment where they will be adored very well cared for. Having your pet is such a joy for us! We do what works for you, day and night!

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and currently have an 8-year-old French Bulldog of my own. I helped train her from a young age and attended dog training classes with her, which gave me experience with obedience, patience, and understanding different dog behaviors. In addition to caring for my own dog, I also have experience helping friends and family with their dogs through walks, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and will always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I just graduated from college and am working part-time over the summer, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I am available during the week and weekends in the morning and early afternoon. I live in a safe, walkable beachside neighborhood with plenty of open space for dogs to enjoy walks, playtime, and fresh air. The area is very dog-friendly, and I’m surrounded by other pet owners, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for pets.

About: I have experience dog sitting various breeds of all shapes and sizes. As a result, I am already familiar with, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu’s, Mini Pinschers, Chipin’s, Terriers, and Great Danes. I treat each and every dog with genuine care and affection as if it was my own. I am extremely flexible and available 7 days a week, everyday, starting at 7am every morning. My struggle to find any type of work since moving to Florida has been an absolute disaster. So, the moment I came across Rover, I instantly became so happy and excited. To be able to benefit financially just by watching, taking care, and having fun with dogs is a dream. On top of that, I can manage my own hours and accommodate my schedule based around my dog, which is absolutely vital to me. My pup as precious as he is, has horrible separation anxiety and is extremely high maintenance, I feel so guilty just leaving him alone for a few hours. My dog was a rescue and was never trained, So I am still in the process of cage training him right now, which in my experience is the most effective way to train small and disobedient dogs. Speaking for most dogs that are obedient, I always follow the exact routine, rules, and guidelines that are specified by each and every dog owner.

About: I’ve been taking care of a wide variety of dogs over the last 17 years. I have experience with puppies that are house training, dogs with high energy levels, older dogs with health issues, and a wide variety of breeds. I grew up with multiple dogs, so they have always been a big part of my life. I work from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible and allows me to assist in whatever ways you need. I’m able to take your dog for long walks at pretty much any time of day, I can come over to give your dog potty breaks, and I can stay over for extended periods of time if needed. I have dog sat for multiple families and am able to do whatever works best for you! I’m totally comfortable staying over and caring for your dog and house, or coming over multiple times a day to check on/play with/walk your fur baby if that’s what you prefer.
